What You'll Do• Design, build, and deploy AI/ML features across the SchoolCues platform (e.g., automated communications, smart notifications, document processing, data insights for school admins)
• Integrate LLM-powered capabilities (via APIs such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar) into existing product workflows
• Build and maintain data pipelines to support model training, evaluation, and monitoring
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to identify high-value use cases for AI within an education SaaS context
• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code and participate in code review
• Help evaluate and implement responsible AI practices, keeping in mind student data privacy (FERPA, COPPA, SOPIPA, NY §2-d)
• Continuously learn new tools/techniques in the fast-moving AI space and bring ideas back to the team

• Experience working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, or building AI-powered application features
• Solid understanding of data structures, APIs, and backend system design
• Comfort working with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
• Strong communication skills and eagerness to learn — we're looking for someone coachable who wants active mentorship, not just a hands-off role

What You'll Get• Direct mentorship from experienced technical leadership
